This video depicts a Ferris Wheel demonstrating Centripetal Force.
When a person is on this ride, the riders feeling "heavier" or "lighter" depending on their position on the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel consists of an upright wheel with passenger seats attached to the rim. These seats can freely pivot at the support where they are connected to the Ferris wheel. As a result, seats always hang downwards at all times as the Ferris wheel spins.
